“Okay, which book is your favorite?”

“Series.Anything for You.Eric and Mae are the best. Except for parts of book two and three when I wanted to smack Eric. And occasionally Mae. But I still shipped them hard. Now that we’re dating, do I get spoilers for the next book?”

Tears flood my eyes. “You really read them all. I…” I shake my head, sniffing back my tears. “Tad never read them. Not one. He thought it was stupid. Worried it would ruin his reputation if his colleagues knew what I wrote. It’s part of why I used my maiden name. Now I’m glad I did, but still. I can’t believe you’ve read them all.”

He gently caresses my cheek. “I told you I’ve always been yours. I meant it. We might have chosen the wrong people out of fear and uncertainty, but a part of me has always been yours.”

“I love you,” I say before bringing my lips to his in a passionate kiss. Sloppy. Hot. Filled with desire.

His hand grips my ass as he pushes his erection against me.

“Condoms in the drawer,” I mutter, actually remembering protection this time.

Somehow, he never pulls his lips from mine as he grabs a condom. He pulls back as he rips it open, fisting himself a few times before sliding it on.

“Up on your hands and knees,” he commands.

Yes, sir.

I do as he asked. He positions himself behind me, but slides his finger up my center first.

“I love how wet you are for me, baby.”

He brings that hand up and caresses my breast, letting the moisture coat my nipple. I moan at the sensation. He keeps playing with my nipple as his other hand moves around my waist, gliding between my legs and finding the swollen spot that is throbbing for him. With one touch from him, I almost collapse onto the bed.

My arms shake as he lines himself up at my center. Using his arm to hold me in place, he thrusts deep inside me.

“Fuck yes,” he growls.

I moan loudly. Scream, maybe. I don’t know. I just know it’s loud and guttural. I want him to know exactly how good he makes me feel. I want him to know I’ve never screamed louder for anyone else. Just him.

“Luke!”

“Yes, baby.”

He thrusts harder. I swear I’m seeing stars. He pinches my nipple and swirls his finger over my clit. I can barely breathe. I press my butt harder against him as he kisses my back.

I used to think I had a hard time orgasming. I realize now I was never turned on enough. With Luke, I feel like I can’t last as long as I want to. The fire of his touch undoes me.

“Luke,” I whimper. “I’m almost there. I’m gonna—”

I don’t get the words out before the tingling sensation starts, then it turns to a deep throbbing, and then total ecstasy as I scream his name.

He pumps harder until I hear his strangled breaths. He groans out my name through his own hard release.

I collapse onto the bed, unable to move. He quickly disposes of the condom, then runs his hands up my sides as he lies down next to me, draping one arm over my back. He kisses my neck. “Don’t ever forget how incredible you are.”

Luke

“Hey, Tuck,” I call, walking into Mixed Brews. It’s the designated local hangout. On one side is a coffeehouse run by Tucker Halpern and on the other is a brewpub run by his best friend, Ryan Burke. It’s a true staple of Lacy Creek, and I think everyone in town stops in at least once a week. Tucker and Ryan were a grade below me in school, but over the years, I’ve gotten to know them both pretty well.

“Luke, how are ya?” He greets me with a fist bump over the counter.

“I’m good. Just desperate for a fix.”

He laughs at that. “You’ve come to the right place. What’ll you have?”

Thinking of Zoey’s body lotion that constantly makes her smell like vanilla, I say, “Vanilla Latte. Whole milk is good. Lots of foam.”
